Hi everyone,
What Worked:
Imagine Photo works nicely.
Graphic Graphic Converter 8 is 32/64bit and when running in 32 bit
mode it works
Yvan has confirmed that Shane's code works. ( Embarrassing to say,
I haven't used it yet because my applescript is so rusty that I
have to remember how to put it into a library and call it. )
I compared the output of the two methods I tested and put a screen
shot online at

What Didn't Work:
sips
Image Events (which is based on sips)
Preview (someone mentioned it uses sips under the hood too, is
that right?).
thanks everyone, for your help,
Malcolm

This works on pict files:
-- set theFile to choose file
set
theFile to
alias
"MBP13:Users:ktam:Downloads:FC1.PCT"
tell
application
"iMagine Photo"
set theImporter to import graphic theFile
tell theImporter to make exporter with properties {export file type:"PNG", export folder location:path to desktop folder, export file name:"test file.png"}
export theImporter
close theImporter
end

I haven’t updated it for 9 years. Last update was to
get it working on the first Intel mac.
Works on Yosemite. When you download you will need
to temporarily turn off gatekeeper to allow to install. I do not
recommend using iMagine Photo for anything new but I do believe
it will solve your pict related problems.
If you are worried that it isn’t working after you
copy to applications because there is no user interface, that is
intended. It is a tool for scripting only.

Kevin,
You can download them from here

Hi Mark,
Could send me a pict file to my
e-mail. I’ll have a quick play to see if I
can provide you with a solution.
